COKE-CHAMBER AND DISCHARGING-GUIDE THEREFO3..

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LoUIs WILPUTTE, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of New Rochelle, county of Westchester in the State ofNew York, have inventedf certain newand useful lmprove ,Inents 1n Coke-Chambers and Dlscharglng- Guides Therefor, for which the follow ng is a true and exact description, reference belng had to the accompanylng drawings,

which form a part thereof.

tal cokeovens of the type in general use in which the opposite ends of each coking chamber are normally closed by doors which are" removed at the time of discharging from the chamber a coke charge prevlously formed therein. In this type of oven,1

after the doors are removed, the previously formed coke mass is discharged by means of a ram or pusherwhicfh is vforced'into of the battery and pushesthecoke-mass out through-the other end-ofthe coking chain the coking chamber at the pusher side her, at he coke side of the batteryf. Nor mally the coke is discharged onto a quencher car which in practice cannot be brought into close proximity to the acent ends of the coking chambers. To guide the coke mass in its passage'from thecokmg chamber to the quencher car, a travehng coke guide 1s ordinarily employed. The general object characterize my invention are pointed out with particularity'in the claims annexed to, and forming a part of this specificatlon. For a better understanding of the lnvention, however, and its advantages, reference should be had tothe accompanying drawings anddescriptive matter in which I have illustrated and described a. preferred embodiment of my invention.

Of the drawings: Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved coke guide and oven structure with parts of the latter broken away and in section.

Specification of Letters Patent. I Patent App lication filed Ma a, 1918.

l/ly present invention relates to horizon the horizontal coking chambers A. coke guide F employed consists essentially in the'form shown of a truck having a pair bf wheels F and a pair of' wheels F run- Serial No. 2321467. c

, Fig. 2 is-a planview of the coke guide and a portion of the oven structure; and p I Fig. 3 is a partial section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

' In the drawings, A I represents the masonry body of ah rizontal "coke "oven bat- 'tery of a type wel --known and in general use. 7

In this type of oven the m asonryforniing the opposite sides of the battery by a metal l-ic frame-work. This frame-work 'at the the coke wharf orplatform at the coke side of the battery. .The wharf or plat- E extendingparallel to the le'ngthof the battery, that is, transverse to the lengths of The ed Nov. 30, 1920.

.the oven structure proper is supported at coke side of the battery comprises in the -construction illustrated, vertical buckstays B, and flashplate sections E,.represents ning on the rails E and E respectively;

and a chute mounted on the truck. The

chute has sides formed by metallic boards or slats F and a bottom F formed of heavy .metallic plates; The floor F? of the coke guideis adapted to register edge to edge with metallic bodies D,- secured to the metallic framework at'the coke side of the battery and forming-extensions of the floors of the coking chambers A. As shown, each member D. is lintheform of a cast metal plate which is secured at its ends to the buckstays B, located at theopposite sides of the coking chamber'A to which the mem- To prevent the inner side -of the coke guide from lifting under, the thrust inc-- pressed uponit by the coke mass-being discharged I provide the coke guide and the metallic frame-work of the oven structure With interlocking parts. These are formed I in the preferred construction illustrated by means of an angle bar G, secured to the coke guide and having its horizontal flange projecting inward from the inner end of the chute floor F andlying beneath and in close proximity to the underside of the oven floor extension member D of an oven chamber A in front of which the coke guide is placed. As shown, each member is formed adjacent its outer edge with a depending rib or flange D", which'adds stiffness to the member, and may also serve toprevent the guide from moving inward toward the oven structure far enough to permit the. coke guide fi'oor F to strike the end of an adja cent member I) as the coke guide is moved along the track rails-E and E As shown the vertical flange of the angle bar G is secured to a heavy channel bar F forming a part of the truck frame of the coke guide.

' Advantageously, the outer edge of each oven floor' extension member is undercut and the adjacent edge of the coke guide floor F is similarly beveled, so as to reduce the tendency of coke fragments to wedge in the open joint between these edges. F represents a link by which the coke guide carriage may be connected to the door machine H, or

other motor driven device also running on the coke wharf rails E and E With the described construction, the labor and care necessary to bring the coke guide into proper position in front of the discharge end of a coking chamber A to be skilled in the art that changes may be made in the form of the apparatus disclosed without departing from the spirit of my inventionas set forth in the appended claims, and

that some features of my invention may sometimes be used to advantage without a corresponding use of other features of the invention.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is r 1. In the coke oven battery having horizontal coking chambers and having a metallic frame-work and a coke guide track at the coke sideof the battery, the combination of metallic parts secured to said frame-work and forming extensions of the coking chamber floors and a coke guide movable along said track and comprising a floor adapted to register, edge to edge with the metallic floor extension of an oven chamber in front of which the coke guide is placed and cooperating parts carried by said coke guide and said frame-work which interlock to prevent the inner edge of the coke guide from lifting under the thrust of the coke mas being pushed.

2. In a coke oven battery having horizontal coking chambers and havinga metallic frame-work comprising vertical buckstays at the coke side of the battery and also having a coke guide track at the coke side of the battery, the combinations of metallic members secured to the buckstays and forming extensions of the coking chamber floors projecting outwardly beyond the outer edges of the buckstays, and a coke guide mounted on said track and comprising a floor adapted to register, edge to edge with the metallic floor extension member of each oven chamber in front of which the coke guide is placed.

4:. In a coke oven battery having horizontal coking chambers and having a metallic frame-work, comprising vertical buckstays at the coke side of the battery and also having a coke guide track at the coke side of the battery, the combination of metallic members secured to the buckstays and forming extensions of the coking chamber floors projecting outwardly beyond the outer chamber in front of which the coke guide is mounted on said track and comprising a floor adapted to register, edge to edge with the metallic floor extension of each oven chamber in front of which the coke guide is placed, said coke guide being formed with a shoulder which-passes under the outer portion of said metallic members.
